Big Stone Gap annexation shot down for lack of money

After the Town of Big Stone Gap and Wise County each spent roughly $400,000 fighting over the town's annexation effort, the three-judge panel ruled that both the town and the county were too poor for the annexation to work, and therefore sided with the County, according to this report ("Big Stone Gap annex try nixed," 12/8/03) in the Bristol paper.
